We'd love to hear from you!
We find and back changemakers with early-stage ideas that have the potential to spark lasting change for all young people. We provide opportunities for them to connect, learn and act together as part of a purpose-driven community rethinking and reshaping the systems around young people. Together we spark lasting change.
Through funding and support we connect and nurture an intergenerational community of leaders with big ideas, who as a collective are showing a new way is possible.
As a catalyst and convener we bring together a diverse mix of leaders, thinkers and pioneers from across generations, geographies and sectors. By working collaboratively to understand young people’s most pressing needs, we back a truly diverse set of leaders and changemakers who deliver impact, create opportunities, and make the case for change.
We share a commitment to learning, sharing insight, and taking action to create the big change needed to ensure all young people thrive. Together we listen, learn, grow, and spark lasting change.
How can we rethink and reshape systems to ensure young people thrive? This Big Change evidence review underpins our approach to impact. It explores evidence that shows the connection between the changes we want to see for young people and in the systems they are part of.
Whether you’re an individual that’s unashamedly hopeful for the future, or work with an organisation that wants to change the system in multidimensional ways, we would love to hear from you.
We work with ambitious leaders who challenge assumptions, and, inspired by working at the grassroots, they bring fresh ideas that have the potential to create a bright future for young people. We support them individually, and collectively, to show a new way is possible. We are about collaborative long term support, and being a catalyst for lasting change.
